"Based on the eight and twelve pulses of the Qijing of Chinese medicine, the meridians and acupuncture points of the human body are stimulated to achieve the purpose of disease removal and communication." Seeing such an advertising slogan, will you be moved by the pain of cervical and lumbar spine diseases? Recently, after careful investigation, the Jiangyan Branch of the Taizhou Municipal Public Security Bureau successfully destroyed a criminal gang that used health care products as medicine to treat cervical and lumbar spondylosis, and then committed fraud.
On February 7, Ms. Li, a resident of Jiangyan District, was surfing the Internet when she saw an advertisement pushed by a pop-up window on a webpage. The advertisement claims that there is a kind of "secret plaster" made of 58 flavors of Traditional Chinese medicine, which can treat various lumbar and cervical spine diseases by simply applying and conditioning the acupuncture points of the human body. Ms. Li spent more than 1800 yuan to buy three cycles of treatment, and after buying it, she found that it was actually an ordinary health care product. Ms. Li found out that she had been deceived, so she immediately called the police.
After receiving the report, the Jiangyan police immediately launched an investigation and found that the "secret plaster" purchased by Ms. Li did not have the drug document number approved by the State Drug Administration. According to the police, in order to carry out fraud, this criminal gang has placed a large number of false advertisements on the Internet and fabricated cases of "successful cure" to deceive patients. Once the patient purchases and uses the "secret plaster" without any effect, the customer service will lure the victim to continue to buy by means of "special physique and increased course of treatment".
Zhang Jingxian, a police officer at the Anti-Fraud Center of the Jiangyan Branch of the Taizhou Municipal Public Security Bureau, introduced that the drug itself is also a kind of "Qijing Sticker" produced locally in Xianyang, Shaanxi, and the cost is only about 20 yuan. The suspect will always cooperate with the relevant manufacturers, and then the OEM becomes a magical plaster that can cure cervical spondylosis and spondylosis for 398 yuan a box.
On March 1, after basically locking up the relevant information, the Taizhou Jiangyan police organized police forces to rush to Shaanxi to carry out a net collection and arrest operation, and arrested 11 people involved in the case, led by Ma Mou and Niu Mou.
According to statistics, since October 2019, this criminal gang has defrauded more than 2,000 people, and the amount of fraud has reached 5 million yuan. At present, the case is still under further consideration.
